Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Life Cycle Support 1-year Retirement Notice

Synopsis:
Low: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Life Cycle Support 1-year Retirement Notice

Summary:
This is the one year notification for the retirement of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Life Cycle Support (ELS). This notification applies only to those customers subscribed to the Extended Life Cycle Support (ELS) channel for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Details
In accordance with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Errata Support Policy, Extended Life Cycle Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ELS will be retired as of June 30, 2024, and active support will no longer be provided. Accordingly, Red Hat will no longer provide updated packages, including Critical Impact security patches or Urgent Priority bug fixes, for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ELS after June 30, 2024. In addition, on-going technical support through Red Hat's Customer Experience and Engagement will be limited as described under "non-current minor releases" in the Knowledge Base article located here https://access.redhat.com/articles/64664 after this date.

We encourage customers to migrate from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ELS to a more recent version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. As a benefit of the Red Hat subscription model, customers can use their active subscriptions to entitle any system on any currently supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

Details of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux life cycle can be found here:
